Despicable Dems Campaign On Texas Flood Victims, Blame Trump
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the Democrats’ latest nasty gambit a 'depraved lie.'ICE, ICE, babies: Clueless celebs cry over immigration enforcement
Hollywood liberals love nothing more than embracing the “20” side of 80/20 debates.
The latest example? They’re rallying on behalf of illegal immigrants, some of whom have terrible, awful, no-good rap sheets.
German fans paid exorbitant fees to hear the Boss rant about the Trump administration. ... He wisely opted against playing the Nazi card this time ’round.
The list of stars demanding that President Donald Trump end ICE raids is growing. It may do so again by the time you read this, but for now it includes Eva Longoria, Katy Perry, Demi Lovato, Kim Kardashian, and, of course, the late-night lads.
Jimmy Kimmel didn’t cut onions before a recent telecast, meaning his eyes remained Sahara-dry during his rant against Trump’s ICE-capades. He did manage to do what CNN attempted all week — pretend the riots breaking out in Los Angeles never happened.
“There’s no riot outside. We have more so-called unrest here when one of our teams wins a championship.”
Rumor has it Kimmel’s writing staff initially wrote some “mostly peaceful” gags, but their boss decided to go full Walter Duranty instead ...

Brooks goes 'Balls'-out
“May the Schwartz be with you.”
The all-powerful Yogurt (Mel Brooks, of course) uttered that line in 1987’s “Spaceballs.” The “Star Wars” spoof never reached the dizzying heights of the master’s “Young Frankenstein,” “The Producers,” or “Blazing Saddles,” but comedy fans still hold the satire in high regard.
Now we’re getting a sequel. Of course.
Brooks himself shared the news on X, and the film will reportedly bring back Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, and Brooks to reprise their signature roles.
Any new Brooks project is worth celebrating, but let’s pause before popping any champagne bottles open. It isn’t clear if he’ll have any creative role in the sequel — he’s 98 but appears forever young.
Plus, the maestro’s “History of the World, Part II,” an exclusive Hulu miniseries, proved you can’t always go home again. That show proved minimally funny, with plenty of woke asides. Here’s hoping the sequel's more “Top Gun: Maverick” than, gasp, “Caddyshack II" ...
Arnold ICEs Kimmel
He’ll be back, as long as he doesn’t alienate his Hollywood pals.
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s road back to Hollywood proved bumpy after his stint as California governor. He finally made inroads with Netflix’s “FUBAR,” which just released its second season.
His political instincts roared back this week while talking about the mostly peaceful L.A. ICE protests on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” The bodybuilding legend and Kimmel spent a few moments gaslighting the audience about the riots.
Nothing to see here. Move along. (And don’t look on X or Facebook!)
Later, Ah-nold said the immigration blame game should be shared equally.
“Both of the parties do not want to go and solve this problem once and for all and create good immigration reform, the way, you know, like Senator Kennedy and John McCain worked it out, and they had a really great, great bill there. But then they didn't go for it.”
That was then, and debatably so. But one party now wants to slam the border shut and vet all new immigrants, while the other left the front door open and baked a cake so everyone within a country mile would come running.
Schwarzenegger may be the ultimate RINO, but this pose makes sense. At 77, he can’t afford to alienate any Hollywood power players ...
No room for horror in star's 'Full House'
Former “Full House” star Candace Cameron Bure says she’s no fan of horror movies. Except she doesn’t stop there. She doesn’t like anyone watching horror movies in her home.
Why?
“Like if you’re watching this, or you’re playing this video game, or whatever, that’s a portal that could let stuff inside our home,” Bure said. “I don’t even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that’s just a portal.”
To be fair, some fellas find Bure’s Hallmark romances downright scary ...
'Born to Run' (his mouth)
Bruce Springsteen shared his Trump derangement syndrome with a new European country. He broke out his new routine in England last month, ignoring how local police now arrest people for posting the “wrong” social media memes.
This time, German fans paid exorbitant fees to hear the Boss rant about the Trump administration.
Springsteen’s song remains the same, but let’s give the legend his due. He wisely opted against playing the Nazi card this time ’round.
Smart.
Whoopi's warped I-rant leaves 'The View' co-hosts speechless
“The View” co-hosts Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin now know how the rest of us feel.
Audiences have endured an endless string of fake news stories, crazed conspiracies, and more from the toxic ABC News product.
The scariest part for tomorrow’s filmmakers? 'A Better Tomorrow' required just 30 people to complete.
We roll our eyes, laugh, and stare agape, wondering why the top brass isn’t ashamed to put the network’s name on the product.
Haines and Griffin must be numb to it all, enduring it five days a week while the paychecks keep clearing. Last week, however, Whoopi Goldberg’s commentary proved too much for even them.
The trouble began with the panel debating the latest Israeli attacks on Iran and the prospect of the U.S. entering the fray. That led to this bewildering exchange between Goldberg and Griffin.
Griffin began by explaining how the human rights abuses in Iran are far worse than what citizens face in the U.S. It’s a “the sky is blue” comment, except uber-patriot Goldberg disagreed.
GOLDBERG: We've been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car!
FARAH GRIFFIN: I’m sorry, but where the Iranian regime is today is nothing compared to the United States!
GOLDBERG: Listen, I'm sorry! They used to just keep hanging black people!
FARAH GRIFFIN: It’s not even the same! I couldn’t step foot wearing this outfit in Iran right now ... I think it's very different to live in the United States in 2025 than it is in Iran.
GOLDBERG: Not if you're black!
HOSTIN: Not for everybody!
GOLDBERG: Not if you're black!
Haines jumped in, trying to bring sanity to the discussion, but Goldberg wouldn’t budge.
This really happened on a major television network, not a YouTube channel with 25 indifferent subscribers ...

China's 'Better' AI bet
U.S.-based film studios are treading carefully vis-à-vis AI. Very carefully.
They don’t want to be seen as pushing digital creativity over human inspiration, and the recent industry strikes offered limited protections for cast and crew against the AI revolution.
China has no such compunctions.
In fact, the China Film Foundation recently announced two new AI-driven projects: the restoration of 100 martial arts films and the first completely AI-produced animated film: “A Better Tomorrow: Cyber Border.”
The scariest part for tomorrow’s filmmakers? “A Better Tomorrow” required just 30 people to complete. Now, recall watching any MCU film and seeing the waves of names floating by during the end credits.
It’s no wonder Hollywood is very, very nervous ...
'Mega' millions
Find a spouse who will love you as much as Francis Ford Coppola loves “Megalopolis.” The auteur’s 2024 film earned rough reviews and an even worse commercial drubbing. It’s still Coppola’s baby, despite it costing him tens of millions.
Literally.
With a box office tally of only $14 million, the Mega-flop didn't come close to making back its estimated $120 million budget — most of which came from the “Apocalypse Now” director's own pockets. That’s commitment, and his relationship with the film is far from over.
Coppola has yanked “Megalopolis” from its brief VOD platform run and refuses to let the movie be shown on streaming platforms or Blu-ray. Instead, he’s about to start a limited U.S. tour where he’ll screen the film and provide post-movie commentary.
We’ll know it’s true love if he announces a sequel during the tour ...
Lane's gay panic
Thoughts and prayers go out to Nathan Lane. He just caught a severe case of Trump derangement syndrome.
The TV/film/Broadway actor is currently appearing in “Mid-Century Modern,” Hulu’s new gay sitcom. Lane is proud of the show but fears it could come to a crashing halt at any point. Is he worried about low ratings or disinterested Hulu executives? Perhaps the show’s budget is too expensive for the streamer?
No. He thinks Orange Man Bad might make it disappear.
“Is it going to change any minds? I don’t know about that. Trump, if he knew we were on the air, would probably try to shut it down, come after Hulu. But I think it’s a great thing to have right now, in the midst of books being banned and, ‘Don’t say this and don’t say gay and don’t do that.’ I think it’s a perfect time for a show like this.”
Maybe Lane should press Scott Bessent about his fears. Bessent is Trump’s treasury secretary, an openly gay man. He seems quite happy to be where is he today. Can Lane say the same?
Hypocritical Democrats ‘Released The Whirlwind’ Of Political Violence
Hate-filled Democrats have shown us time and time again that their compassion is privileged and division is their politics.Trump derangement final boss: Ilhan Omar claims Somalia is better than America
Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) isn’t known for her measured political takes, which is why it’s no surprise that she’s not only comparing President Trump to the Somali government — she's saying he’s worse.
“I grew up in a dictatorship, and I don’t even remember ever witnessing anything like that. To have a democracy, a beacon of hope for the world, to now be turned into one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets without any regard for people’s constitutional rights,” Omar said on “Democracy Now!”
Omar went on to liken Trump to “a failed dictator with a military parade” and claimed that "this was not the country we were born in.”
“You were not even born here, sorry,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments. “You don’t get to lecture me on what President Trump does and whether or not it’s a dictatorship, and it’s just so laughable.”
“Compare what President Trump has done so far compared to Somalia,” she says. “He revoked DEI foreign aid, over 100 Biden-era policies, he started mass deportations, declared a national emergency at the border, used DOGE to cut a s**t-ton of money and positions, pulled from the WHO, Paris Climate Accords, pardoned some of these J6ers, pro-life advocates.”
“Doesn’t sound very dictator-ish to me,” Gonzales says. "Meanwhile, over in s**thole Somalia ... over in 2006, the Islamic Courts Union took control of Somalia — most of it — and strictly enforced Sharia law."
"You had an extremist group in 2011 challenge the Somalian government for control," she continues, "and through Sharia law, enacted executions, forced amputations."
“If you stole or if you violated the dress code, you got your appendages chopped off,” Gonzales adds, noting that in 2021, the president signed a law to extend his term in office and wouldn’t leave.
“But yes, no totally, this is just like Somalia, totally like Somalia, where President Trump is trying to protect American citizens and roll back regulations rather than cut people’s hands off when they steal,” she says.

LA riots 'mostly peaceful'? Here's the TRUTH
The first summer under the Trump administration since 2020 wouldn’t be complete without leftists rioting and burning cities to the ground — and the mainstream media explaining it away as if those rioters are “peaceful protesters.”
“And even those who were out of step with what we are advocating, peaceful protest, did not create any violence. Nobody was shot, nobody was killed, get it in your heads,” Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), one of many Democrats blind to the violence occurring all around them, said after the protests.
Dana Bash also publicly joined Waters in her delusion.
“The L.A. County police say that they have it under control, carrying the flag is not illegal, as you know. What did happen in 1992 was so different from what we’re seeing now,” Bash said in a recent segment on CNN.
Other liberal commentators have continued to push the idea that these riots were “peaceful” and that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were the ones provoking the protesters.
“Most of those demonstrators were very peaceful except for all of them,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales mocks, adding, “You don’t hate the mainstream media enough. You don’t hate them enough.”
“All of these mainstream Democrats who are going out there, and they are continuing the absurd rhetoric of Donald Trump being mean, orange man bad, I guess we want to, I don’t know, welcome gangbangers and murderers and rapists and really bad people back into the country because this is all mean Donald Trump’s fault,” she continues.
“I cannot believe they are continuing this same unhinged rhetoric that got President Trump elected again. I can’t believe that they are trying this again, while everyone is watching these illegals and these wild crazy leftists burn down L.A.,” she says, adding, “I cannot believe they are so stupid to think this is going to work again.”

Ana Kasparian: 'I’m done with the Democratic Party'
Ana Kasparian, co-host of “The Young Turks,” is one of the few voices in the political sphere who refuses to blindly follow the crowd based on claimed political ideology — and she’s not afraid to say it.
“I find myself in this weird politically homeless place right now, because you look at the Democratic Party, and both in pathology and in policy, I feel that they’ve taken on some of the characteristics that were indicative of the Bush-era Republicans,” Kasparian tells BlazeTV host James Poulos on “Zero Hour.”
And Kasparian believes this began to happen after President Trump’s emergence onto the political scene around the 2016 election.
“I really do think that Donald Trump specifically just kind of came in, stirred the pot, realigned things in some ways,” she explains. “So for instance, he was such a disruptive force that the left in general just really didn’t know how to react or respond to him, and I think that they, the mainstream Democratic Party, has kind of taken on ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend.’”
“So I think the biggest mistake the Democratic Party has made in recent years is this mistake in thinking that if someone, or a political ideology, is against Trump, that must mean they’re good for the Democrats,” she continues.
And one of the Democrats Kasparian believes Americans need to watch out for is California Governor Gavin Newsom.
“Gavin Newsom is a snake, and he is setting himself up for a presidential run. And as a result, he’s kind of presenting himself as some sort of reasonable, more moderate Democrat,” Kasparian tells Poulos.
“He is someone that you shouldn’t trust or believe,” she says. “He has overseen the absolute destruction of the state that I was born and raised in, the state that I absolutely love.”
“Gavin Newsom is the perfect example of a politician who wants to be a leader but doesn’t have the characteristics necessary to actually be a leader,” she continues, adding, “Gavin Newsom follows trends, and he goes along with what he thinks is politically popular at any given moment.”

Sam Harris showcases the severity of his Trump derangement syndrome
Atheist podcaster Sam Harris has made no secret of his antipathy toward President Donald Trump. Harris has, for instance, called Trump "the most dangerous cult leader on Earth"; blamed him for "how divisive our politics have become"; accused him of paving the way for fascism in America; and deemed him "one of the most prolific liars our species has produced."
Harris — who argued in an October debate with conservative commentator Ben Shapiro that Kamala Harris was the optimal choice in the 2024 presidential election — still appears to be having trouble coping with Trump's popularity and reelection over 120 days into the president's second term.
'I would rather have a president in a coma where the duties of the presidency are executed by a committee of just normal people, right.'
Indeed, the atheist intellectual suggested during the May 23 episode of his "Making Sense" podcast that the efforts to cover up former President Joe Biden's mental decline — efforts recently acknowledged by Jake Tapper, a longtime proponent of the false competency narrative — were problematic but potentially warranted, or at the very least understandable, in the face of an "awful choice."
RELATED: Media cover-up unravels: Biden’s mental struggles confirmed in damning leaked tapes
Harris admitted that he would have preferred the coverup to have succeeded, telling his manager Jaron Lowenstein, "I would prefer a comatose president to the president we now have."
"Even that is preferable to me — and to, I think, many Democrats — than having someone who we consider to be genuinely evil ... genuinely 100% purposed to serving himself in the office of the presidency," continued the atheist. "I would rather have a president in a coma where the duties of the presidency are executed by a committee of just normal people, right."
'Hunter Biden literally could have had the corpses of children in his basement.'
Harris presented his preferred option of a cabal of unelected insiders usurping the powers of the democratically-elected president as a hypothetical; however, it appears to have been, at least in effect, more or less the reality of the Biden presidency in its final months.
After all, staffers and family members reportedly were making decisions on Biden's behalf while radicals in his orbit allegedly used his signature to advance their own agendas.
While Harris' admission that he would prefer rule by an unelected committee is likely proof enough that he suffers from the so-called "Trump Derangement Syndrome" that Republican lawmakers now want the National Institutes of Health to study, Harris appears to have provided ample material for a diagnosis.
For instance, Harris suggested in 2022 that the media was responsible for preventing Trump from retaking power, even if that meant censoring the truth about the Hunter Biden laptop.
"Listen, I don't care what's in Hunter Biden's laptop," Harris said. "I mean, at that point, Hunter Biden literally could have had the corpses of children in his basement, I would not have cared."
While acknowledging the media had suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story and that there indeed was a "leftwing conspiracy to deny the presidency to Donald Trump," Harris said "it was warranted."
